- Description
- NOTICE OF INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH THE INTER-AMERICAN TROPICAL TUNA COMMISSION (IATTC) FOR THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS). PURPOSE OF PROPOSED CONTRACT IS TO TEST THE EFFICACY OF A MITIGATION TECHNIQUE IN MAINTAINING ACCEPTABLE CATCH RATES OF MAHI MAHI AND TUNA AS WELL AS REDUCING INCIDENTAL BYCATCH OF SEA TURTLES. RESEARCH WILL STUDY SEA TURTLE BYCATCH IN COUNTRY OF ECUADOR. THE IATTC, BASED IN LA JOLLA, CA AND MANTA, ECUADOR, HAS ALREADY BEGUN CONDUCTING SIMILAR RESEARCH ON REDUCING INCIDENTAL SEA TURTLE BYCATCH IN LONGLINE FISHERIES. MOST COUNTRIES IN THE AREA WHERE RESEARCH IS TAKING PLACE ARE MEMBERS OF THE IATTC AND PARTICIPATE IN THE RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES OF THE IATTC. A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THIS STUDY IS TO ENSURE THAT OBSERVERS ARE PLACED ON EACH FISHING TRIP IN THE RESEARCH AREA. IATTC IS CURRENTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF AN INTERNATIONAL TEAM OF FISHERMEN, SCIENTISTS, AND MANAGERS TO CONDUCT SIMILAR STUDIES. IATTC HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS LEAD ORGANIZATION IN CONDUCTING THESE BYCATCH AND RELATED EXPERIMENTS. THERE IS NO KNOWN ORGANIZATION LOCATED IN ECUADOR THAT CAN PERFORM THIS CONTRACT. THIS IS A SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION WITH AN ESTIMATED VALUE OF LESS THAN $100,000.
